Throughout my career I have always focused on outcomes that make a difference for the people of King County: public safety, housing and transportation. We deserve to feel and be safe in our communities – which is why I have delivered public safety solutions from support for law enforcement to crime prevention, and behavioral health responses. Our communities are growing increasingly expensive – which is why I fight for expanded access to affordable housing and convenient, sustainable transportation options.
I’m excited for the opportunity to bring my experience, perseverance and proven record to the office of County Executive.
Claudia has spent her career fighting big fights and standing up for democratic values, and this week she received the sole endorsements of the 5th LD Democrats and WA 41st LD Democrats, and a dual endorsement from the 32nd Legislative District Democratic Organization. These local parties cover ...broad bases in the county - from Seattle to Shoreline and east to Sammamish - and she is honored to receive their support!
Honored to receive our first local Democratic Party endorsement - thank you 32nd Legislative District Democratic Organization for your support!
Dreams do come true when dedicated and tenacious people fight for them!
The Redmond stops on the 2 Line open on Saturday - thank you to advocates like Andrew and NPI who saw what could be possible and played a big role in getting us there.
Bringing fast, reliable, affordable ...transit to King County is a vision I’ve been working toward for years, and we are now two major steps closer to making a key part of that vision - the 2 Line - complete!
As your King County Executive, I’ll continue to bring big thinking and real action to get us where we want—and need—to go.
I’m proud to be endorsed by State Senators and State Representatives across the County and beyond.
We will need to partner together to make King County safe, affordable, and sustainable, and I’m ready to put in the work, as I always have, alongside our state elected officials to ...achieve the progress we need.
Thank you to Washington Conservation Action for tonight’s event, and to Secretary Haaland for her leadership. Her thoughts tonight have been inspiring, and it has been uplifting and restorative in this difficult moment to be at WCA’s event, among so many people who are deeply committed to a ...sustainable future. A future with clean water, air, and green and open spaces - shared among all people, from our tribal communities, who are the original stewards of our beloved northwest lands, to those who arrived here today and everyone in between.
I am proud to have fought for environmental protection and justice throughout my career, from pushing the City of Bellevue while on Council to implement their first climate actions, including signing onto the original K4C Climate Coalition and joining the Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, to the present day when I am working hard with our partners on the Regional Water Quality Committee to protect our sound, lakes, salmon and orcas. This work is my passion and I am renewed in my commitment to the land, water, and air that is our habitat, our privilege, and our gift.
It was inspiring to see the big turnout at today’s May Day rally for solidarity and democracy. Proud to show up with friends and supporters from the labor movement and community.
It’s more important than ever to stand together.l
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support my campaign kickoff for King County Executive on Friday! It was amazing to launch this campaign at the Meydenbauer Center, surrounded by a ballroom full of friends and supporters from all over the county.
In the room were experts and ...effective advocates in their fields, from transportation, labor, housing, arts & culture and so many more. I am grateful to have this broad and deep base of support, and ready to work toward our shared vision of a safe, affordable, and sustainable King County.
It’s been an exciting few weeks on the campaign - including several major union endorsements. These eight unions represent tens of thousands of workers who are critical to making our county go. As County Executive, I will continue standing up and fighting for working families.
I’m ...also proud to be endorsed by unions that together represent a majority of King County employees. I am honored to earn their support and look forward to a strong partnership.
